Hold on if life is so simple to create because of it's "painfully slow responses of increasingly stubbornly persistent pre-DNA congeries of adhering, self-sustaining entities" I think I'll brew me up a batch of life (maybe I can get it to mow the lawn).

Sure. Right after you brew up a c-class star undergoing a phase change in your back yard. Obviously, if they can't do it, those astronomers must just be trying to pull a fast one on us with all this gibberish about steller evolution.

Now brewing up a new star would be impressive, but creating life which is obviously so simple it can happen anywhere, should not be that tough.
